What I would recommend after wash and drying, is give it a quick wipe down with a quick detailer that doesn't leave anything behind. Just to make sure the surface is nice and clean for re application of your chosen wax. Providing the car keeps on coming up nice and clean after each wash and...

that would really p!ss me off. Luckily I've never had it happen when machining, but did do it when wiping down after wet sanding. I couldnt face wet sanding again, far too much effort and risk

wondered how long it would take to come up on here. lost part of its desire-ability IMO

See now if your getting fairly good results as shown in your pics from the machine polishing, I can't see the point in suggesting a glaze. Surely it's a waste of time when he's getting fairly good levels of swirl removal so no need for the fillers. After polishing I would personally use a pre...

Sounds good to me. Toughcoat will be fine over amigo

Yeah I thought so! In which case all its good for is putting a soapy dilution over the car. It's far from a snow foam lance. You'd need one like that I linked from i4d

Link to the one you've got. Is it made by karcher, or just karcher fitment. Should look like this http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/HD_Snow_Foam_Lance_1L.html

Looks very glossy for RB! what sealant did you use before carbon?

If you're new to machine polishing, look at meguiars 105 and 205, or the menzerna range

Are you using a proper snow foam lance or the bottle that comes with the pressure washer?

It all depends on how youve set up your lance, if you've wound up the dilution you'll use more. Play around with the dilution nob on top of the lance and see how much you need to get the desired affect. With an inch of snow foam in the bottom of the bottle I can typically do 3 cars with it, but...

A last stage product, LSP, is to keep all your paintwork fresh and sealed. This is done by either a wax OR sealant. Think of a wax as a natural version, a sealant as a synthetic version. By stand alone sealant i mean all that is needed.

Citrus power is meant to be just sprayed on the car, left to dwell then rinsed off before washing. Tough coat is a stand alone sealant and should not be used over a wax, although you could wax over the top if you wanted for extra looks

Try and use a tar remover before claying, will make it much easier and pull out a lot more dirt than you'd think is on there. If you dont have one, autoglym intensive tar remover will suffice although there are better out there

Not really a very comparable product, as its semi permanent and requires very clean and precise application for it to perform.

Looks or durability, what for you would be better?

A pre wash and pressure rinse can be just as good at softening grime, if you get a good one there is little difference. It just makes it a little easier sometimes, and when wanting to rinse after de tar, de iron and claying etc.

Replace srp with tripple, replace purple haze with tough coat. There is no real need to use both a wax and a sealant, but if you do choose to use both, use a sealant first, then top with a wax. A sealant won't bond properly over a wax and will likely partially remove the wax and contaminate...

Ah, but will it strip my rimming wax?

Toughcoat, easy to use and apply to tight areas. Will look very good on LY

3for 2 at polished bliss? Next order I'd add citrus power, toughcoat and revive

aqua wax and EGP won't really give that long a protection, even when using both. you've also not mentioned a base for your wax or sealant. for a beginner I'd recommend something like britemax blackmax and extreme elements sealant, or zaino all in one topped with z2 from i4d or go for the 3for2...

He also got the answer wrong last week

ive not known a metal polish to add any real protection either. im sure it will work wonders on painted and lacquered finishes, throw in some wire wool. lol. only kidding

flol! what a tool bag what forum is this you use as theyve come up with some right crackers of wisdom

knuckles, if the tar is that bad, after the first hit and dwell of the tar remover, spray the panel again lightly, then mist a mf applicator and gently wipedown the panel before rinsing off

Incredible edible is not worth anything to be honest. just a bit of chocolate in a panel pot. Someone from Belgium paid me £38 for my pot. Paid for a takeaway so I was more than happy Think he's mad if I'm honest

Rule 1 - Car colour makes no difference. What do you want or like in a wax. Light colours prep is more important than wax in terms of finish
